Conservation Efforts in Andaman & Nicobar Islands

1. Protecting Indigenous Tribes & Restricted Areas

✅ The islands are home to several uncontacted and protected tribes, including:

  • Sentinelese (completely isolated from modern civilization).
  • Jarwas, Onges, Great Andamanese, and Shompens.

 Strict laws prohibit entry into tribal areas to prevent cultural disruption and disease transmission.
 Regulations:

  • The Andaman & Nicobar Protection of Aboriginal Tribes Regulation (1956) restricts access to tribal zones.
  • Any unauthorized contact is illegal and punishable by law.
